Beetroot and Yoghurt Dip
This dip doubles up as a delicious salad dressing. You might like to put it through the food processor to give it a smooth consistency.
Rice Paper Rolls
You can use any filling you wish in these rolls as long as you keep the ingredients reasonably dry. If the filling is too wet the rolls will get soggy and will be hard to handle.
Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins
Store muffins in an airtight container, in the fridge. Warm them in the microwave for a minute before eating.
Chick Pea and Tahini Dip
Good as a dip with pita bread, vegetable sticks; as a spread on sandwiches; as an accompaniment to grilled fish and meat; as a salad dressing.
Eggplant and Tahini Dip
This dip is also very good as a spread on sandwiches or an accompaniment to grilled meats.
Pumpkin and Pepita Muffins
You can replace buckwheat flour with wholemeal flour and brown rice flour with white flour if you wish.
Apricot & Tofu Pudding
Tofu makes this pudding high in protein so it can double up as a good breakfast choice or a snack.
Apple and Walnut Pie
This pie resembles a strudel but is a lot simpler to make.
Chocolate Polenta Cake with Choc Chips
You just can’t have a recipe book without chocolate recipes. As it happens, chocolate can be good for you, in moderation of course.
Stewed Apricots with Honey Yoghurt and Almonds
These apricots are delicious on cereals or on their own as a snack.
Bread Pudding
Although the ingredients are fairly harmless, this pudding is quite filling. So, I suggest you serve it after a light meal.
Apple and Blackberry Crumble
If by chance you have some left over (never happens in our house), you can keep it covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days. Also wonderful for breakfast.
Great Northern Beans with Rice
This was my father’s favourite dish, so it was cooked quite often in our house. The best thing about these beans is that they are wonderful hot or cold.
My father’s favourite version was the hot one with rice where as my mother and I preferred the cold version with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
